New Beginnings Nutritionals

Diagnosed with autism at 3. College graduate at 22. Living and working on his own today. 🎓

Meet Daniel Knowles, and the determined mom beside him every step of the way.
When Daniel was diagnosed, his mom, Lori Knowles-Jimenez, refused to stop asking questions. She dug into the research, partnered with practitioners, and focused on supporting his health from the inside out: gut, nutrition, and whole-body wellness.

Today, Daniel is a University of Kansas graduate with a career in IT. 💙
Lori’s journey also led her to co-found New Beginnings Nutritionals, where she now serves as General Manager. For more than 20 years, she has helped other families find the answers she once searched for.

Every child’s path is different, but no parent should have to search alone.

💬 Tell us in the comments: what’s one milestone your child reached that you’ll never forget?

Is your child’s multivitamin really giving them what they need? 🤔

Research suggests many children on the spectrum may need more of certain key nutrients than other kids:

✔️ Vitamin B6
✔️ Vitamin C
✔️ Folate
✔️ Zinc

These nutrients play important roles in brain health, mood, and overall wellbeing. Picky eating, gut issues, and differences in how the body absorbs and uses nutrients can all make it harder for kids to get enough from food alone.

That’s why we created Spectrum-Mate. It is specially formulated to support the unique nutritional needs of children on the spectrum.* For more than 20 years, New Beginnings Nutritionals has been proud to serve the autism community and the families who love them. 💙

We love getting comments like this! Dr. Shaw has helped countless people by sharing his knowledge and research!

Since 2009, some of our most important conversations haven’t happened online. They’ve happened at a booth, in a crowded conference hallway, with a family who just needed someone to listen.

This is a small look back. We don’t have photos from every event (we wish we did!), but these moments from conferences like TACA, MAPS, IMMH, and The Autism Education Summit remind us where it all started.

You’ll see Dr. William Shaw and Dr. Kurt Woeller sharing the science, and our co-founder Lori Knowles-Jimenez on stage with her son Daniel, sharing the recovery story at the heart of why we do this.

Every family and every practitioner we’ve met at these events helped build New Beginnings Nutritionals. Thank you for trusting us and letting us be part of your journey.

In 2009, a local news station shared the story of 10-year-old Daniel. 📺 Here’s where he is today. 🎓

Back then, Daniel and his mom, Lori Knowles-Jimenez, sat down with reporters to talk about the path their family took after his autism diagnosis at age 3. Lori dug into the research, partnered with practitioners, and focused on supporting Daniel’s health from the inside out: gut, nutrition, and whole-body wellness.

The story has been viewed more than 114,000 times. 💙

Today, Daniel is a University of Kansas graduate with a career in IT, living and working on his own.

Lori went on to co-found New Beginnings Nutritionals, where she serves as General Manager. For more than 20 years, she has helped other families find the answers she once searched for.

Every child’s path is different, but no parent should have to search alone.

“His tantrums and stomach pain were changed to smiles.” 💙

A mom in our community shared those words with us back in 2012 about her son, Miguel. More than a decade later, they still capture why we do what we do.

We chose to carry Ther-Biotic Complete because of its potency and its carefully selected strains. Each dose delivers:

✔️ 25 billion CFU from 12 probiotic strains
✔️ Diverse Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species, including L. rhamnosus, B. bifidum, L. acidophilus, L. casei, L. plantarum, B. longum, and more
✔️ A base of inulin from chicory root, a prebiotic fiber that helps feed beneficial bacteria
✔️ A patented, specially designed capsule to help protect the probiotics as they travel through the digestive tract

Together, these support a healthy gut microbiome, digestion, and immune function. *

Here’s what many parents don’t realize: a lot of children with autism have significant digestive challenges. And when a child can’t tell you their tummy hurts, that discomfort often shows up as behavior.

The gut-brain connection is real. Your gut and brain talk to each other constantly through the nervous system, the immune system, and the compounds made by gut bacteria. That’s important for everyone, and especially for children with autism and other special needs.

Gut health is complex, and no single probiotic is right for every child. That’s why we carry Ther-Biotic Complete along with many other probiotics, so families and practitioners can find the right fit for you.

Another cute post from the archives!

Did you know children with autism often have greater nutrient needs — including Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, folate, and zinc?

Research shows these deficiencies can impact behavior, cognition, and overall wellbeing. A supplement designed specifically for children on the spectrum can make a meaningful difference.

At New Beginnings Nutritionals, our practitioner-grade formulas like Spectrum-Mate and SpectrumNeeds® are built to address exactly these gaps — with over 20 years of experience supporting the autism community.
